We are excited to be working with Gustavo from Chile and Juan from ESRI! This opportunity for the youth to both participate in the professionals conference, and to work with other youth to promote GIS skills, and community projects is a tremendous opportunity!
We have to find sponsors in order to make this trip happen. We are looking for business or individuals who share our vision, and are willing to sponsor a youth! Whether it is a cash donation, or airline miles donated to a specific youth, we NEED your help!
Please contact me at sarah.cofer@oregonstate.edu if you can help sponsor, if you know someone who can!We cannot make this trip without community help!
A brief overview of what 4-H EquipoGIS is, and what we are attempting to accomplish follows:
4-H EquipoGIS is a partnership that is creating international collaboration for youth using GIS.
We focus on creating opportunities for youth: 1)to participate in coordinated community projects home and abroad, 2)to connect with youth and adults in other countries, and 3) and to participate in International ESRI conferences.
Our goal is to use GIS to create lasting leadership skills by connecting youth with other communities and countries, enabling them to affect change not only their own communities but communities around the world
